Yes I feel that way as well. It has to do with not being wanted, loved, cared for as a child. They are unmet needs. These feelings can be unbearable at times for me. Some how we are suppose to "go inside" and take care of that child part that did not get what it needed. Hug it, tuck it in to bed..........I say ********. It does not work.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
